Thanks, Ralf.

When you get time to think about it .... :-)

Hard coding values always has its drawbacks as well as advantages.

The editors that I use regularly are the Editor 2000 and MicroEmacs v4, 
both of which are set up with a black background, green ink, and the 
cursor is red.

All of this with a QPC2 window in Windows.

MicroEmacs is the most impressive, as its uses the full screen, has 
drop-down menus with the pointer environment, and its active with 
FileInfo2.

Although, it too is showing its age, and could do with a GD2 colour 
re-vamp and other features ...

Sedit is nice too, and as I get used to it more it will get used.
